Is there anything I can get to boost a wifi signal around the whole house? I no longer have my own internet and I'm using my neighbours but I can only get a signal in 1 room which happens to be the only room in the house we don't use

, would be handy if there is some sort of booster or similar to allow me to get it in any room?

There are ways but I'm pretty sure you would need access to the original router for anything wirelessly. Others should he able to confirm but effectively if you purchase a wireless signal repeater (about £40) that would do It

I have the same problem, have the Virgin Superhub in the living room but the signal drops massively in the bedrooms upstairs.

We use the iPad to watch netflix etc in bed but the signal is terrible.

What would people suggest?

Swapping to an 802.11ac router made a huge improvement on wifi speed in the bedroom on the iPad using 5ghz 802.11n. It went from around 1mbps to 30 mbps :-)

Wireless repeater then, that'll do the job

, do I just plug it that's it or will I need access to the router to set it up? As that might be quite difficult

Shouldn't need to, on the repeater just enter the SSID and WEP/WPA/WPA2/encryption key and it'll do the rest. Only issue you'll have is if your neighbour decides to had MAC filtering, which case you're a bit screwed (unless they're alright with you sharing and give you access)

had major issues with my BT upgrade to fiber, the router they put in is shite and I couldnt get a stable 1 bar wifi connection from downstairs where the router was to one of the bedrooms.

I bought this

http://www.ebuyer.com/264407-netgear-wn3000rp-universal-wifi-range-extender-wn3000rp-100uks

and put it in the bedroom and get full bar signal

You just plug this into the wall socket, set it up like you do with accessing the original router via wifi, and then connect to the SSID of the extender in the wall socket.
